CGI
CGI, or Computer-Generated Imagery, is the creation of visual content, such as images, animated sequences, or special effects, using computer software instead of traditional methods like cameras or hand-drawn illustrations. It encompasses both 2D graphics, like text and backgrounds, and 3D models and environments, used to make movies, video games, advertisements, and virtual reality experiences more engaging and visually impressive.
How it works:
Modeling: Artists create 3D models of characters, objects, and environments.
Animation: These models are given movement and motion using specialized software, sometimes guided by real-life motion capture.
Rendering: The computer processes all the data, applying lighting, shadows, and other effects to convert the digital models into the final, realistic images or videos.
Compositing: CGI elements can be combined with live-action footage or other imagery to create a seamless and believable final scene.
